gave him a quick call to sharpen the knifes

The fish was well bled as you can see...chopped its head off to fit in the esky....iced down then straight home to a very happy crew for fresh sashimi....pickled ginger and wasabi mayonaise....

melt in your mouth yum

Great Capture

Mon, 2009-04-06 09:02

Top stuff Andrew, were there plenty of birds working the area or was it a bait ball boiling on the surface that got your attention for the sight cast?


Cheers
